    The sprint race was quite exciting.

    Cob Stem

    What is the difference between an acrylic and plastic cob stem? Do the plastic ones end up looking like a chewed pen top? I've noticed all the ones I like the look of are plastic. Eg the apple diplomat and the cobbit dwarf. Everything is made to a price point I suppose.

    Tea and tobacco pairings

    I like Yorkshire. That's my go to for teabags. A decent strong brew. I am currently down to a little bit of Russian Caravan, and a little bit of Whittards 1886 blend (similar to Yorkshire). Haven't dared to look how much the prices might have risen. Might be sticking to Yorkshire for a...

    From my perspective, that still seems to be true.

    Tea and tobacco pairings

    I love tea. But I live in the UK. Prob drink about 5 cups a day. I am no expert but Lapsang Souchon and Russian Caravan are both smokey. Probably go well with anything with Latakia I'm guessing. Can't help you with iced tea sorry.

    Was this pipe a false economy?

    Would Capstan (blue) be a UK "codger" blend? Or at least a suitable beginner blend?

    Was this pipe a false economy?

    Unfortunately Carter Hall, Sir Walter Raleigh, Half and Half etc are not available in the UK. Is there a UK equivalent? A straight virginia perhaps. Feel free to shoot me down. I don't actually know what I am talking about.

    Was this pipe a false economy?

    I was curious about Sarome myself and look forward to seeing the answers. When I asked about budget pipes. Falcons, Corncobs and Barber B Line were suggested. There were fans (and haters) of each, but they should be otherwise good value. Actually, I don't recall negatives about Barber B line.

    The Most Moronic Thing You’ve Ever Done

    I once enlisted the help of two friends and borrowed a small inflatable dinghy with an engine. Wrapped up against the cold weather we set off early in the morning and motored about a mile up the estuary to a nearby boat club. My plan was to tow home the sailing dinghy I had just bought whilst...

    Good Cheap Pipe

    On the smoke.Co.uk website, people here recomended Barber B line. Which look quite nice. Also on the website and cheaper still were Sarome pipes. I take it Barber B line is the better option. (or are they ok)?

    Pu-er. Tried it a few times. Looks, smells and tastes like stagnant ditch water. Can't see the appeal personally. 🤮

    CB Radio

    I was a child when my grandfather's friend gave me the handle. Wait for it. "Flatfish" I kept the name as a sort of mark of respect.

    No. My grandfather was into it.

    Welcome from Wales

    We are probably related. I've worked in Llanelli (well Pwll), and before that Carmarthen.
